Shares of Beyond Meat (BYND) fell 10% in after-market trading hours on Tuesday after the plant-based meat company posted a decline in its fourth-quarter revenue that also missed analysts’ estimates.

Total revenue for the fourth quarter ended Dec. 31, 2025, was $61.6 million, as compared to $76.7 million a year earlier. Wall Street expected it to be $63.8 million, according to data from fiscal.ai.  The year-over-year decrease in revenue was due to weak category demand and lower sales of chicken and burger products to quick-service restaurant customers.

Meanwhile, the company reported a net loss per share of $0.29, compared with a loss of $0.65 per share in the fourth quarter of 2024 and expectations of a loss of $0.41 per share, according to fiscal.ai data.

Loss from operations for the quarter surged to $132.7 million, compared to a loss of $37.8 million last year, due to the increase in operating expenses and the reduction in gross profit.

“Our results for the fourth quarter of 2025 reflect ongoing headwinds in the plant-based meat category as well as the financial impact of several restructuring charges that, while costly, we believe will support the Company’s path to sustainable operations,” said CEO Ethan Brown.
